Remember connection via satellite 
But. isn't that even easier to blackout than any other route??? We don't put sats up the, the Governors do, and we couldn't keep 'em there cos we aren't military.I doubt for example if USA shuts down ALL internet that every satellite will be taking down (unless USA shoots them down, which would end up in world war 3 most liekly), other country have them and im sure if usa does that people will work with other countrys to help us internet people.
